Editor Mark Doyle shares how Jeff Lemire’s ULTRA THE MULTI ALIEN story in STRANGE ADVENTURES (on sale now) came about.
Take it away Mark.
“You should call Jeff Lemire,” former Vertigo Editor, turned-Hollywood Mogul, Pornsak Pichetshote said to me. “He’s crazy about all that old stuff.”
That’s how “Ultra The Multi-Alien” started. It was all PP’s idea. The man is an idea machine (that must be why they plucked him from the dark halls of Vertigo to go work for the West Coast brain trust).

This May, Vertigo will publish STRANGE ADVENTURES #1, a collection of science fiction short stories as only Vertigo can do them.
Written and drawn by some of the comic industries most sought after talents, STRANGE ADVENTURES also features some exciting new talents making their Vertigo debut!
This volume also includes, the first chapter of SPACEMAN, a new series by the Eisner award-winning team of 100 BULLETS, Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso debuting this Fall.

Jeff Lemire, fashion designer?
Out in the snow and freezing cold, the characters of SWEET TOOTH need some warm clothes to bundle up in. So leave it to the amazing Jeff Lemire to dress them in cozy coats and scarves. Jeff shares some of his “winter gear” design sketches with us as the Endangered Species storyline begins in issue #20 on sale now.

The 2011 JOE SHUSTER AWARD nominees for outstanding achievements of Canadian comic book creators, publishers and retailers were announced today. Among the nominees whose work has been published by DC Comics are, Francis Manapul, Fiona Staples, Cameron Stewart, Dave McCaig, J. Torres and Jeff Lemire, who was nominated in a total of three categories: Outstanding Comic Book Cartoonist, Outstanding Comic Book Cover Artist and Outstanding Comic Book Writer.
Congratulations to all the nominees.

Jeff Lemire is extremely creative. As writer and artist of SWEET TOOTH he’s trying new techniques all the time and issue #18 is the perfect example. Told horizontally with text and illustrations, the conclusion to Animal Armies is reminiscent of a children’s storybook.
Here’s a glimpse inside so you know exactly what I mean:

More than I decade ago my friend Stephen John Phillips suggested that we collaborate in the artwork for a new graphic novel, a fumetti about a harem. I did not know that this would be the beginning of a long work relationship with Vertigo. Of course, I had been aware of the imprint since its inception and enjoyed the bulk of its titles, as I matter of fact I used to buy all of the books that Vertigo published! But I was not sure if there would be other projects after this first one∑ Well, lo and behold, there have been many!
